mounted.
•Loosen position adjustment knob.
•Insert the ball of the base into the socket of the
speaker.
•Tighten the position adjustment knob.
Mounting/Positioning
Mount the horn to a suitable surface using the
hardware provided. These units can be mounted to a
wall, a beam or an electrical box.
•Mount the base to a wall using the two holes
provided. Knockout holes are provided for
punch out should additional holes be required.
•A "C" clamp is provided with the horns to allow
mounting to a beam. Place the bolt through the
hole in the bottom of the base to secure the "C"
clamp to the beam (See Figure 1).

•Connection to an electrical backbox is
accomplished by channeling wire through the
ball of the base (See Figure 2) and making
appropriate connections. The base has holes
punched for a double-gang square box, but by
punching out additional knockout holes, the base
can be mounted to a single-gang or octagon box.
The horns may be rotated or moved up and down to
obtain the desired position by loosening the knob at
the bottom of the unit, approximately 1 turn. Make
required adjustments and re-tighten knob.
